"A second thought
or on first aid"
——j We’re constantly amazed
< '—-—' at the number of children
whocut, scrape and bruise
themselves within sight (and sound) of our phar
macy. We do a big business in antiseptics,
bandages, and other first-aid items. Same every
where, probably. But sometimes we wonder if
people don’t depend too much on first aid—neglect
proper medical attention. If there's the slightest
question in your mind following what appears to
be minor injuries, aee your physician. First aid
has definite limitations. You can only be sure of
proper medical care by seeing your doctor. A
prompt visit can save a half dozen later.
